As if the both sets of pictures weren’t enough to give you a glimpse at the BlackBerry 9630 “Niagara,” now CrackBerry forums member salisa.m has graced us mortals with some honest-to-goodness video of the thing in all its rebooting glory. Of course — in the tradition of all things leaked — the video’s got a good amount of blurriness, but it’s not like we haven’t seen it before. Apparently this ‘Berry’s rocking OS 4.7.1.10 — not 4.6 like its sibling the Bold — but it’s got a “very likable Bold keyboard” albeit with a bit smaller keys. The back battery cover looks to be a piano-like carbon fiber plastic with a new hinge design to prevent dust accumulation, and it’s described as being very light and sleek. Unfortunately, the OS was super buggy, and the videographer couldn’t even get the device fully powered on for a tour of Verizon’s presumably tweaked software — but with this latest torrent of information over the past few days, we’re sure that we’ll be seeing a lot more of this bad boy in the not-so-distant future.

What you’re looking at is a genuine Lenovo device taken by a trusted source from inside of the Beijing IBM headquarters. The details sent to Engadget Chinese are brief so we can’t tell you if it’s a working model or not. Nevertheless, it bears all the hallmarks of a ThinkPad Reserve Edition with just a tad of Vaio P thrown in for taste… so to speak. A few more hurried shots at the break.

Well, what do we have here? Yep, that’s the Motorola i465, the first iDEN phone with a full QWERTY keyboard in the entire universe in a seemingly official press shot. Mobile Review’s somehow gotten ahold of this slick piece of photography, which shows the dumbphone off in a much better light than we’ve previously seen. We still don’t know much else about the specs, or when this Sprint-Nextel bound puppy will show up.

Well, what do we have here? According to MacRumors, this could quite possibly be the next-gen Mac mini we’ve been waiting so patiently for. This guy would seem to correspond roughly to other possible “leaks” we’ve been hipped to in the past, including the presence of five USB ports, FireWire 800, Mini DisplayPort, and Mini DVI. Coincidence? Underhanded Photoshoppery? You be the judge.
Update: Looks like the pic hit both MacRumors and AppleInsider at the same time, but the MR forum poster who put it up included some alleged specs: a 2GHz Core 2 Duo processor with 3MB Level 2 cache, 2GB DDR 3 memory at 1066MHz and a ATA Super Drive. Believe what you will!

Is this for reals? If so… yay! If the above screenshot of a Toys R Us terminal is to be believed, there might be a new, red Xbox 360 Elite on its way to a shelf near you. Details beyond the SKU are pretty scant, but the price is the same as the current Xbox 360 Elite model — $399. We know a certain, fashion-conscious avatar who is going to be really excited if this is true.

Clearly, the flood gates have opened well before Sony Ericsson intended over in Barcelona, as the countdown is still on while we’re watching handset after handset leak out. Next up is the W995 Walkman (can someone say Hikaru?), a multimedia-centric slider which boasts an 8.1 megapixel camera, A-GPS, Google Maps, WiFi, DLNA certification, 118MB of built-in memory, an 8GB M2 card and a 2.6-inch QVGA scratch-resistant display. The mobile should ship in a trio of colors — Progressive Black, Cosmic Silver and Energetic Red — and the inbuilt kickstand should make airplane-based movie watching a touch easier on the neck. No word on a price or release, but SE should be remedying that at any moment.
Update: As you may have caught in our liveblog, the W995 is now very much official, and just as described in its not-quite-official form. SE did have a few small surprises up its sleeve, however, in the form Sony’s MediaGo software, which will let you share media with your PS3 over WiFi, and take advantage of Sony’s PlayNow services, including downloaded movies purchased on your PC. Hit up the gallery below for a closer look.

We’ve had our eye on Verizon’s crazy LG handset, the VX9600, (or “Versa,” in fun-speak), since back when it was still just a doodle, and have expected an imminent launch since we caught those snaps of it in late January. So here it is — documented evidence that points to a likely March 1 launch. If you’ve forgotten (there’s no way you’ve done that, is there?) this zany piece of work boasts a sweet QWERTY keyboard module which is detachable, with other modules, including a pair of speakers and an internet module with integrated WiFi promised. No word on pricing yet, but we’ll let you know when we hear something.

So, this is sort of fun. The leaked photo above appears to be of a new iPhone back — in matte black. Sure, we have to be highly suspicious of all kinds of purported evidence of new products in general, and we’ve heard enough crazy Apple rumors over the years to fill an issue of US Weekly. Regardless, this one’s worth at least considering: it’s got a model number, A1303, that’s previously unseen, but has all the other requisite data, including FCC ID numbers, that we’ve grown to know and love on the back of real, actual, undoctored iPhones. Look, it’s probably fake. Discuss.
Update: Some more pics have surfaced — check one after the break and the other at MacRumors. Seems a bit early for these sorts of leaks to us, but crazier things have happened.

There’s bound to be more, but the first leaked Acer handset expected to be unveiled at Mobile World Congress is no more than a rebadge of a device obtained through its acquisition of E-Ten. The Glofiish DX900 was announced in mid-2008 with dual-SIM support, GPS, a 3 megapixel camera, and a 2.8-inch VGA touchscreen riding a Windows Mobile 6.1 OS — that all stays the same. In other words, if the leak is accurate, then this particular device will see a new logo and that’s about it. Still, the MWC invite specifically said “smartphones launch” so we’re not corking the fat lady just yet.

No specs here to speak of. Only pics of this oddly shaped player from Aigo called the “Jigsaw of Love.” Presumably then, you can mate the DAP with your partner’s piece and then “leak” the sordid video onto the Internet in hopes of fake-fighting a revival to your fading career. But that’s just a guess.

Whoa, whoa — calm down hiptoppers. Don’t act like you didn’t know a new Sidekick was coming in the year two-thousand and nine. Actually, there is a fair reason to celebrate here, ’cause if these specs are true, the Sidekick LX 2009 will be a surefire winner. A reader over at HipTop3 reportedly came across this image above while taking an online survey, which — as your eyes have no doubt confirmed — shows off the very first 3G / GPS enabled Sidekick ever. Specs wise, it’ll supposedly boast a 3.2-inch WVGA display (854 x 480), a 3.2 megapixel camera, microSD card slot, easy access to YouTube, MySpace and Twitter, turn-by-turn navigation and video recording capabilities. Sadly, there’s still a sliver of a chance this could all be a hoax, but we know your brain isn’t letting itself accept that fact at the moment, now is it?

We’re not sure what’s going in France at the moment but a bevy of new 12 megapixel Panasonic cameras have broken loose with or without corporate approval. Let’s start with the rugged €399 DMC-FT1 (pictured). It features a 12 megapixel (1/2.33-inches) with a 28-128mm optically stabilized 4.6x zoom Leica lens and a 2.7-inch LCD. It’ll survive drops of up to 1.5 meters, water to a depth of 3 meters, while surviving storage in the dustiest of apartments. It’ll even shoot 720p video in “AVCHD Lite” format… whatever that is. Next up are the €429 DMC-TZ7 and its £329 DMC-TZ6 little buddy. The TZ7 couples a 12x optically stabilized zoom (25-300mm) with the ability to shoot 720p HD video in that same AVCHD Lite format and reviewable on a biggie (but relatively common) 3-inch LCD.
Also outed is the €299 FX550 with 5x zoom, 720p video capture, and a 3-inch touchscreen buzzing along with haptic feedback. It’ll even handle aperture and shutter priority modes in addition to manual exposure for those who wish to push their amateur credentials to the edge. The €299 DMC-FX40 dials things back with a skinnier chassis and smaller 2.5-inch LCD while ditching the manual stuff. Check ‘em all in the gallery.

Seems the good people at Expansys are up to their shenanigans again, but this time we’re seeing a few Samsung sets dribbling out of the leaky tap — mind you, we won’t holler legitimate ’til we hear it from Samsung. The Samsung B2100 — apparently a follow up to the M110 and B2700 — which actually appeared back in October 2008, The Samsung Louve (perhaps a typo of Louvre? It’ll make sense in a minute) and the Samsung Pivot. The Pivot is apparently set to be one of Samsung’s first handsets with Windows Mobile 6.5 and will come loaded with a 5 megapixel camera, QWERTY keypad, LED flash, aGPS, Bluetooth, WiFi, and is touted as coming in a package similar to the Samsung i780. Samsung’s Louve is said to be designed like the TyTN II and shares its sliding and tilting screen — see where the Louvre name fits in? — runs Windows Mobile 6.1, a 3.2 megapixel camera, and shares the i900 Omnia’s tweak-ready interface. The Expansys “Insider” mentioned filling in the details and posting some pics soon, we’ll get those up if we see them or fill you in when we hear more.

Well, well, lookie here… HTC’s G2 followup to the original Android phone getting a good man-handling in the wild. Expected in May, the images were leaked without specs or any real details. Still, it’s clearly the G2 / Sapphire 2.0 handset with 3.2 megapixel camera leaked just a few weeks back along-side the rest of HTC’s 2009 models. Hey, you didn’t need that physical keyboard anyway, right?

Samsung Korea has announced it will reveal an ever-so-thin HDTV prototype at CES this week — a clear trend going into the show. There’s a paucity of info about it as of now, but it’s going to be between 6.5 and 7mm thick — and it doesn’t appear to be part of the possible lineup we saw leaked a while back. “Thinnest HDTV” ever, huh? We’ll see about that soon enough: Samsung’s Vegas press conference is scheduled for Wednesday.

Yes, Virginia, there’s a leaked copy of Windows 7 beta floating around, and if you aren’t the type to “break the law” and check it out yourself, the folks at Tech Cast News have made for you a picture-laden walkthrough of the installation process and some of the OS’s new features, including Alt+Tab doppelganger Aero Peek, the icon-only Taskbar interface, and the Smart Folder-esque Libraries. Overall, they found the beta a major improvement over Vista and predict the final release will put Microsoft in consumers’ good graces again. Here’s hoping that apparent January beta release comes to fruition so we can sweep that other OS under the rug a little bit faster.
Update: Looks like Tech Cast News is down, standby for innovative Ballmer-based conspiracy theories.
Update 2: … and it’s back!

In case you hadn’t heard: delicious, beautiful, mind-bending Windows 7 — apparently slated for a beta release in January — has leaked and is now available. That is, if you’re willing to, you know, break the law and download the ISO that’s floating around on BitTorrent trackers all over the place. The good news here is that the leak is apparently a quite stable, newer beta version (build 7000) than previously spied (6801). We wouldn’t know, of course (we try to walk the straight and narrow), but let us know if you’ve got your hands on it… how’s it treating you?

CES 2009 is literally days away, but it seems that those looking for details on any possible new HDTVs from Samsung may not have to wait to get their fill. A few postings over at AVForums has led us to believe that the outfit will be debuting a number of new sets for a litany of markets. The 2009 lineup will reportedly consist of a few new Series 3, 4, 5 and 6 panels, with the main focus being on their LED-backlit-ness. Everything should be available for purchase during the first half of next year, with sizes ranging from around 40-inches and up. Obviously, there are far too many details linked below to cover in this space, but one mention we found particularly interesting was the promised Internet@TV feature, which should effectively replace InfoLive and instead rely on those Yahoo Widgets we’ve been hearing about for so long. It’s about to get really interesting, folks.

Can you feel it? Dell’s Adamo is just about here, and the anticipation is palpable. We already learned that the unit’s 45-watt power adapter wouldn’t be anything special, but a Google cache shot of accessories and such from Dell’s own website is giving us a presumed look at what could be announced alongside the ultraportable. For starters, we get the impression that it’ll boast DisplayPort (judging by the DisplayPort-to-HDMI / VGA / etc. adapters) and at least have an option for a 2x Blu-ray combo drive. We’re also seeing 250GB / 500GB internal / external SATA drives and an auto / air adapter for powering the machine in your vehicle / personally owned 747. Only the suits in Round Rock know if these will actually come to fruition, but honestly, why bother hosting these up on your website if they weren’t on the way?

Uh, AMD? We know most of your staffers are probably throwing back a glass of Egg Nog right about now, but you might want to get out something akin to a simple press release acknowledging the release of your dual-core Phenom II processor. For those keeping track, we’ve now seen the CPU announced via an outlet other than AMD, purchased by a normal citizen without access to AMD’s labs and now, for sale on the world wide web. Word has it that the units will start shipping on December 27th, which will probably be prior to an actual confession of their existence in the retail channel by AMD. Not that we’re complaining about the distinctly different than usual approach here, but our heads are certainly spinning.
